Details: Brink stated that she was pleased to return to Washington and advocate for the prompt release of a package of help for Ukraine.

She said she had informed the legislators that supporting Ukraine "is in our strategic national interests."

Background:

• On Thursday 18 April, US Democrats took an unprecedented step to salvage "Johnson’s bills" containing assistance for Ukraine. They voted during consideration in the House Rules Committee, as three right-wing GOP hardliners refused to participate.
• The final vote on the bills, which provide for multibillion-dollar assistance to Ukraine, should take place by Saturday evening, 20 April.
